He has been made captain of the West Gambier Under 14's cricket team for this season, it's a great boost for him and the responsibility he now has will be a challenge at times, but I know he will excel in the position.
Dan had try-outs for Kerr Shield last week and has been selected again this year.
Yesterday he had try-outs for Country Cup which is played over a week in Adelaide, he had a very good chance of selection this year, but unfortunately it all come crashing down.
He had to withdraw from the selection half way through due to an elbow injury he received playing the day before. This was a very hard decision he had to make, but it was the right one as we found out at the physiotherapist today.
Dan was so upset yesterday and in a lot of pain but he stayed and cheered on his friends while they were put through their paces.
So here is my very sad boy with his ice packs on.
And here is his strapped arm (he's smiling because it is completely numb)
Dan now misses a match tomorrow and his club games for the next 2 weeks then hopefully he will be able to play the first Kerr Shield game Sunday week.
Chin up Dan, it will get better.
Hi Daniel, so sorry to hear about the injury but it happens to the best of players doesn't it. Hope you have a speedy recovery and best wishes for the season. Besides Australia and NSW, West Gambier is now my team.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Daniel.
ReplyDeleteThat's tough, Sue. It's so hard to see our children in pain. Praying for a speedy recovery and that Daniel will be back out there ASAP!
ReplyDeleteTake care of your arm Daniel! You have your mom to help you with that, so it should be better soon.
